Flying training selection board date set

  • Published
The next undergraduate flying training board will be held at the Air Force Personnel Center here Feb. 8. Applications must be postmarked by Dec. 29.

Eligible officers are those with a birth date after May 1, 1975, and a total active federal commissioned service date after May 1, 2000. Hopefuls must send their completed application package to: HQ AFPC/DPAOT3, 550 C Street West Suite 31, Randolph AFB, TX, 78150-4733.

The application -- Air Force Form 215, Aircrew Training Candidate Data Summary -- allows recommendations from the applicant's commander and another person. Each applicant may submit separate letters of endorsement from his or her chain of command, said Howard Peterson assistant to the special flying programs office.

"We recommend that only letters from people ranked above those listed on the (application) be submitted," Mr. Peterson said. "The goal is to make the package as strong as possible."

All prospective fliers should schedule a physical exam if necessary. Those trying for pilot training also need to complete the basic attributes test that measures coordination and cognitive abilities.
